A new draft of India’s data protection bill is set to be debated in Parliament, but even before discussion begins, privacy and security experts are saying that the proposed legislation lacks clarity on key issues.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has prepared a draft of the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2022 and invited public feedback as part of its public consultation exercise. The government is expected to introduce the bill in Parliament in the budget session of 2023, though the precise date for discussion of the draft has not been set.
